In their song Lapdance N.E.R.D rap about “all in the name of white trash” regarding the issue of flag burning.
I am not offended because I am a grownup. I also am smart enough to see what’s really going on with their mistaken thinking.
I love the song, I think I’ll listen to it in the car later. Flag burning is uncool but it is protected speech. No one should have the power to force one to love their nation.
But it’s not a “black” issue. So the members of N.E.R.D consider it to not be something the public or state should be concerned about. So they disparage those that are. Perhaps N.E.R.D will consider the issue of protected speech if it ever affects them directly.
Economic status, (So called socioeconomic status is a political buzzword) is something that can partly be helped. (I recently posted about being insulting about things that people cannot help)
You may be poor but you could have helped yourself by not signing on that shit loan. You may be poor but you could have helped by insisting on using condoms. My dismay might easily be mistaken for ridicule due to my delivery.
Then there’s the loosely defined “social” side. God, do people love to wear the world “culture” down to a nub.
You cannot help where you are born. You cannot help what your genetic makeup is.
But you can help killing rare animals just because your people believe one small part of them is good for the libido if ingested.
You can help the fact that your pants waistline is below your ass.
